 A lot of Windows Tor relays have been coming online in the past months,
 sometime 10 or more per day. After some investigating it appears the many
 of these relays have been set up inadvertently.

 Users who try to find the old Vidalia Tor bundles by searching for "tor
 vidalia" instead get directed to the Vidalia relay bundles at
 https://dist.torproject.org/vidalia-bundles/. There are currently 160
 online relays which may have been accidentally installed from those
 bundles.

 I think it would be good to remove these out-of-data packages from
 dist.tpo to avoid more people making this mistake.
